Wow what a day I've had
Decided to give the van a good test out as it seemed it was about right to so off I went.
Clocked up just over 41 miles with 6-7 miles of motorway work at 55-60mph arrived back home with the energy meter still showing 24% and the battery voltage not sagging below 145v at the worst case
OK so I have driven it fairly carefully, trying to keep the discharge under 100A where possible and in the green section of the ECO meter, keeping off the brakes and using as much regen as poss , but I recon if I had kept off the motorway I could get 50+miles out of her
So all in all a BIG EV GRIN today
Well it looks as though this will be the end of this thread for the time being as I have covered most bases and the van seems to be behaving itself.
Time to move on with some of the other jobs.
I'll add any updates to this section as I go if anything new crops up and if anyone wants to ask any questions about the battery change then feel free to post away and I'll try and answer them.
